BLAST, BLAST, BLAST, in bunkers and out of them, and if nothing can assuage the pent up feelings of the golfer who has left his footprint, if not in the sands of time, then in most of the sand hazards of his course, let' the words of Gene Sarazen and Paul Runyan soothe.
They are two of America's leading golfers and, therefore, should know something about what they are saying. Theirs is the contention that golf courses to-day are too tough for the duffer and too easy for the profes sional. And it's all a matter of sand bunkers.
Runyan would remove them entirely, while Sarazen, not so drustic in mind, favours moving them to catch the poor shots for the better players rather than leave them to add to the mental distractions of the duffer.
Trups," says Runyan, "when they are raked smooth aren't hazards 10 the professionals. Any pro in a trap beside a reasonably fint green ex- pects to get down in two, at the most
three; strokes. The high-scoring player may take that number to get out and probably as many more to go down."
Sarazen says that a flock of traps 150 yards from the tee will cause untold suffering among the average players, whereas the prus and top-notchers will probably not see them at all.

These, however, are features of the courses menlinned, and their re- moval would upset the balance- even if people wanted then taken away, which I doubt. But there must be many courses in the world where much stronger cases for the duffers could be made out.
"Why," he argues, "not put the traps down the fairway where the better players' wild tee shots are likely to kind, but where they will not bother the beginner who cannot drive that for?**
